I personally would sit down and look at what i am more fluent in and can i advise you that they are all very distressing disorders but with time, willing and patience you will sail through! if you decide to go with further education in autism there are lots of voluntary charities who put you through training courses which may be something your interested in. if so let me know and i will find the correct website for you. what open uni courses have you done - how many points so far? good luck with what ever you choose, they are all very rewarding careers. conkys mummy.

There is always psychiatry, if you are interested in eating disorders. Nurse, of course, as well, perhaps specialising in eating disorders, with the possibility of working in a clinic for people with Anorexia and Bulemia? It is harrowing work though; those people are really ill, I have a friend who is pretty much killing herself through anorexia, and it makes me feel helpless as a friend that I can do nothing, so you will need to be prepared for that feeling of helplessness every day. The difference being, of course, that you could stand in the position to really really help, which is an admirable thing to do.

You could look into teaching assistant for people with learning disabilities, perhaps?

Answer 5

You are talking about two very different disciplines, and maybe the best way would be to speak to someone from your local university or college, from each of the disciplines you mention.

If they talk you through both the course content, and the likely options open to you afterwards, this may well help you to reach a decision. They are usually very happy to talk to prospective post-grad students.

Good luck

Your career choice is totally up to you, just remember do not go to a technical school, and then switch over to a university, it is better to go to a full tech school, or go to a full university, you dont wanna switch because it never works out the way its supposed to.
